Cai & K.D. Hyde, 2009 Culture characteristics. Colonies on PDA (Figure 2, PE84, 88), superficial, white to olivaceous in the beginning and later become olivaceous to dark-olivaceous, circular, entire edge, smooth, dense and raised on surface media; reverse dark-olivaceous. Sporulating in culture after 1 month. GenBank numbers. MFLUCC 17-0613 ITS=MG646968, β-tubulin =MG646927, GAPDH=MG646932, CHS-1=MG646937, ACT=MG646939. MFLUCC 17-0555 ITS=MG646969, β-tubulin =MG646928, GADPH=MG646933, CHS-1=MG646936, ACT=MG646944. Notes. The gloeosporioides species complex is mainly plant pathogens ( Weir et al. 2012 ) and some species are endophytes ( Liu et al. 2015 ). Colletotrichum fructicola has a wide host range ( Weir et al. 2012 ) and was originally reported from coffee berries in Thailand ( Prihastuti et al. 2009 ). In this study, the authors followed Jayawardena et al. (2016) and identify the collection as Colletotrichum fructicola which was isolated from a Pandanaceae host. Based on phylogenetic analysis, this taxon grouped with Colletotrichum fructicola with 90 % in ML and 1.00 in PP. The ITS, β-tubulin , GAPDH, CHS-1 and ACT DNA nucleotide comparison showed that the taxon and other strains of Colletotrichum fructicola Prihast., L. Cai & K.D. Hyde have 100% similarity.
